Spied: Now wearing 'Infinite Weave' grille, 2023 Proton S50 with 1.5T to be launched after X90?

Bit by bit, more of the 2023 Proton S50 surfaces. This time, we've caught one of the test mules up in Genting Highlands, which now neatly wears the carmaker's 'Infinite Weave' grille on its muzzle.

Like the last one that was seen, this is also a right-hand drive (RHD) example. Some details are also made clearer this time - peep the side mirrors that has the same blind-spot indicator like the X50 and X70. A sunroof is also visible.

To recap, the rumour mill around the S50 revolves around Proton possibly returning to the C-segment sedan market after the Preve that was discontinued in 2018. It's also been widely touted that it may inherit the X50's 1.5-litre turbocharged three-potter but nothing official has been said just yet - though Proton is focusing on the powertrain.

That's evident in the opening of their new engine line in Tanjung Malim, and the electrification of the said mill that's powering the upcoming Proton X90, which is very soon upon us. The S50 though? That's still quite some time away.
